CYCLE INDONESIA
I’ve been cycling Indonesia since 1990.
Beginning 2009 I’ve led 14 group trips for 100+ riders on the island of Sulawesi.
Sulawesi is ideal for cycle touring. Life is still mostly traditional, lots of quiet back routes and the people are welcoming. The landscape varies every few kilometers. There are still active volcanoes, rugged jungle clad mountain ranges, rice plains and terraced hillsides, while sand coastlines and idyllic offshore palm fringed coral islands. In addition to the cycling there’s international class diving and snorkeling, white water rafting and mountain trekking.

We organize fully supported trips on various parts of the island.
We make a serious effort to provide a genuine cultural immersion experience.
We plan our trips so riders can experience Indonesia as it really is. Routes are in non tourist Indonesia. Food is authentic Indonesian cuisine. Every effort is made to provide riders with a non tainted genuine Indonesian experience.

We are not commercially motivated. We are motivated by love of cycling and love of Indonesia.
